There are so many devices out there that claim to be smart devices. Most of them have actual benefits, but some of them are just gimmicks. Some of them have quality issues and just do not work as intended. One can easily start piling up 2, 4, 5, 10 different applications on their phones and tablets. The end goal is as little of applications as possible to control the most amount of devices as possible. Typically E-style can get this down to a single source to control all devices within one eco-system. This is the next step in the journey of owning a smart home. read more about this next step here.
